Customer Review: A wonderful CD collection indeed! I have bought all of the Brilliant Classics Complete Collections and have not been upset with any set. The only thing I didn't like about this set (and only because I can compare with my others), the information was on the outside instead of the inside. Meaning that... more info
Customer Review: I'll keep this short... if you love the guitar you need this recording along with the other Deutsche-Grammaphon complilations (The Art of Segovia and the boxed set). The recordings are beautifully remastered! They didn't see fit to put the recitation of the poem on "Platero & I," just... more info
Customer Review: Brahms composed an astounding amount of piano music. Variations were a Classical form that long fascinated him. His most famous are The Handel Variations Opus 24, and the difficult Paganini Variations in which he shadowed the style of Liszt. Today this work is often compared with Bach's Goldberg and... more info
Customer Review: Hofmann - particularly late Hofmann - may be an acquired taste.
Despite having been the protégé of Anton Rubinstein, "the wonderful boy" was recognized from quite an early age as the exemplar of a modern style of playing - textually faithful, eschewing swooning or bombast. (See,... more info

In 1984 this was one of the first recordings that was released on cd instead vinyl (perhaps that was the reason it was recorded all the way in Japan?). Great instrument (David Way 1983 after... more info
Customer Review: There was a time when I first saw this CD in a store. While I looked on back for the listing of the pieces, I read the print on the bottom that mentioned what kinds of instruments did Bob James played. One of them was the Mini-Moog. It also mentioned "Oberheim," "Roland," and "Yamaha." These names... more info
Customer Review: Carlos Salzedo's music is difficult, no VERY difficult (and I'm a harpist, so I know these things!) and the Salzedo Harp Duo play them as effortlessly as water falling off a leaf. Inspired musicality and daredevil tempos make this a "must have" and even if you're not a harpist, it's absolutely... more info
